Yeah, Mitch, know what you mean. Was worried about the entry-exit issue with the Mini but tried it from every angle I could think of and it seems to work. As said, longer door opening a great help. Re stalks, I have only mastered the indicator bit so far. It didn’t like self-cancelling and refused to be “pushed” off until I got the touch-pressure exactly right. Hope it doesn’t rain soon or I’ll have to work out the wipers!
Was concerned that such a generous engine driving front wheels in a light car would be an issue. Seems I was wrong … has not scrabbled for grip out of a corner at all. There again, have been very gentle with everything thus far. Nevertheless, it does go where you point it with great precision and makes you smile as it does so.
